A brother of the murdered lawyer Yuniol Ramírez says that recent actions and statements by the lawyer of lead suspect Argenis Contreras is part of a strategy to free former director of the Metropolitan Bus Services Office (OMSA) Manuel Rivas, a suspect in the crime. Ramón Ramírez, brother of Yuniol, and a lawyer himself, suspects this is the strategy of Carlos Balcácer, legal representative of fugitive Argenis Contreras. The murder occurred in October 2017. Ramírez was investigating corruption at the OMSA.
